After hearing the phone ringing, Mr. Zai suddenly became alert.
The whole person slowly leaned against the corner, and he was very energetic in his heart, preparing to face the danger.
Because in his opinion, this was a sign of triggering the plot and entering the incident.
But for a long time, nothing happened except the phone ringing.
This made him feel relieved and somewhat regretful at the same time.
but...
Mr. Zai looked at the bottom of the stairs, where there was a wall-mounted device on the right wall, which flashed red from time to time.
It was obviously a phone, because that's how the ring sounded.
"Well...it seems that we have to accept it..."
Mr. Zai calmed down and did not go down in time, but looked around.
At this point he had two paths to take.
1. Go straight down towards the ringing phone.
2. Turn right and go up, there is a hidden room very close to you.
However, in the room on the second road, there is an inexplicable red light shining through the crack in the door, which seems not to be good...
Mr. Zai hesitated again and again, but gave up the idea of going in.
Instead, choose to walk down to trigger the plot.
So, he stepped onto the steps and walked down carefully step by step.
At the same time, he kept comforting himself that this was just a game.
"Calm down, Mr. Zai!"
"You are the most handsome!"
"It's just a game!"
"It's all code! It's all algorithms! Don't be afraid!"
"And which game is the most exciting right from the start? It's all step-by-step!"
"So I'm not afraid...I'm not afraid..."
The live broadcast room immediately erupted in barrage.
Several eye-catching messages floated through it.
One of the messages worth 1,200 yuan said: Who said before that he was not afraid.
Seeing this, Mr. Zai snorted coldly.
"You know Bara, this is called strategic fear."
"As long as I show fear first, then when I get scared later, it won't be because I was scared by the game, but because I took the initiative to be scared in advance. Do you understand?"
"Before the game scares me, I first act like I'm scared, so that the game doesn't scare me, but I scare myself and predict the game's prediction. This kind of controlling my destiny You don’t understand the feeling in your own hands.”
The live broadcast room immediately burst into barrage comments.
As Mr. Zai went downstairs, the phone rang louder.
At the same time, the scene gradually opens up, and more environments come into view.
By the time he reached the wall-mounted phone, he had a panoramic view of the entire downstairs.
This is a place similar to a living room.
The space is spacious and equipped with many high-end furniture.
Three display cabinets that are taller than a person stand against the wall, decorating the environment and looking like guards.
The luxurious carpets on the floor highlight the extraordinary status of the residents.
Everything seemed so normal, no ghosts, no abnormalities.
Mr. Zai calmed down, approached the phone on the wall, and answered it.
He knows that in the game, this is a mechanism used to advance the plot.
If you don't answer, it will definitely keep ringing.
He didn't want to keep listening to this phone ringing sound that sounded like a reminder in such a dead and unfamiliar house.
Soon, the call was connected.
A slightly older voice sounded from it.
[Hi Dwayne, I'm your neighbor. ]
[I know it's late, and I know I'm a little paranoid. ]
[But...I'm sorry, I'm a little worried. ]
[Because I see you haven't come out of the house for almost three weeks. ]
[So can you call me back? Tell me you're okay. ]
After a few greetings, he hung up.
Obviously it is not a real-time call, but a message.
When Mr. Zai heard it, he immediately understood that it was the voice of the old lady in the trailer.
He knew that this neighbor's voice would later become a high-pitched voice like a witch's, and that he would keep saying the name Dwayne.
But now, in the official game, the so-called neighbor's voice has remained normal throughout the whole process. It has not turned into a high-pitched voice like the trailer, nor has it made that creepy and scary laugh.
It's like a genuine friendly concern between neighbors.
Mr. Zai doesn’t know this interpersonal relationship, and he doesn’t know how to return calls, but there doesn’t seem to be a mechanism for returning calls.
So he put the phone back, which also gave him some small details.
That is, the protagonist he controlled stayed in the house for three whole weeks without going out.
Since you haven't been out for so long, what will you do at home?
At this moment, Zai always thought that he came out of a room with nothing and black stains on the floor.
I also thought of the opening credits of the game where a gunman killed a mother and her daughter.
So...
etc!
Could it be that Dwayne was the one who fired the gun in the opening scene?
Because he committed suicide, he didn't go out for three weeks. Did his neighbors become concerned?
Then who is the protagonist he is controlling now...?
Dwayne?
possible!
The timeline of the game is most likely what happened before Dwayne shot and killed someone!
Thinking of this, Mr. Zai combined the clues in his mind, and then showed a look of surprise.
"Guys, I think I probably know the plot."
"The protagonist I'm controlling now is probably the Dwayne the neighbor mentioned on the phone, the one who shot and killed someone in the beginning of the film. Think about it, before, the protagonist would stagger, get dizzy, and cover his head after shooting someone. An uncomfortable situation. What does this mean? It means that the protagonist is already abnormal at the beginning of the film! He is a problematic person!"
"And for a person with mental problems, who is hurt first? His family! So the women, boys, and girls at the beginning of the film should be the protagonist's wife and children. And the protagonist will cover his head and struggle when he shoots. Look. It seems reasonable to conclude.”
"According to the neighbor's phone call, the protagonist was obviously normal before. Then if he becomes mentally disturbed, he must have encountered something or experienced something."
"Then think about what kind of game this is? A horror game! And it's a horror game with real ghosts!"
"So, it's not difficult to guess. The flow of the game should be that when the protagonist is still a normal person, he encounters a supernatural and horrific incident, and then is tortured into a mentally disturbed lunatic bit by bit. Finally, he returns to the beginning, unbearable, and shoots his family, Form a perfect closed loop.”
After Mr. Zai finished speaking, he immediately felt proud of his intelligence.
This is the strength of game veterans in the past ten years, who can reverse the game plot through details and a few words.
It’s not something ordinary people can do!
It is not in vain for him to be ranked fifth among the four great talents in Jiangnan.
"So in a moment, our players will witness how the protagonist transforms from a normal person to a madman step by step due to supernatural and horrific events."
When the audience in the live broadcast room heard it, they immediately felt that it made sense!
As a result, barrages started popping up one after another.
But an eye-catching message worth 100 yuan suddenly floated out.
"Since the timeline is before the opening of the film, what does the current three weeks of not going out mean? Shouldn't it be that the protagonist committed suicide and didn't go out for three weeks?"
Forehead...
Mr. Zai was immediately speechless.
It seems to make sense.
If you haven't gone out for three weeks, it must be because something happened.
Since the timeline is before the protagonist kills his family, it’s impossible for the protagonist, who is still a normal person, not to go out for three weeks. He doesn’t work?
"This... I can't figure it out either. Let's play around and see. We can't guess the result even if we guess here for a long time."
So Mr. Zai started to formally explore this house with questions!
On the other hand, Xinxin doesn't have so much thought.
As a MOBA player, she was currently in the house, feeling frightened and on the verge of crying.
She originally planned to improve her score today, but she happened to encounter the release of "Face", so the audience and fans clamored to see this game.
But as someone who was so frightened by the trailer that he fell off his chair, how could he possibly broadcast it?
When I touch my butt now, I can still vaguely remember the pain it felt at that time!
So she said that she would improve the score today and the new game would be played another day.
As a result, his original position as the number one game channel suddenly dropped to seventh place.
Just because the first six were all broadcasting "Face", it attracted a lot of people, and the first one was the live broadcast room of Mr. Wannian Erzaizong.
Seeing him take first place was like being mocked.
So she had no choice but to buy the game on the spot and install it.
After changing the title of the live broadcast room, the popularity slowly began to pick up, and the number of comments gradually increased.
Let Xinxin call Mahler Desert in her heart.
After about ten minutes, she also entered the game.
At this time, she was walking in a corridor cautiously, fearing that a ghost would come out of any corner and scare her.
And this corridor looks very familiar, isn't it the one shown in the trailer?
It's just that the red door at the end turned into a white door, I don't know what it means.
She remembered that it was in this corridor that she was frightened and fell down by a ghost with a sudden face.
When she thought of this, she shuddered and quickly shook her head to stop her random thoughts.
Then he leaned against the wall, walking step by step with fear.
She dared to bet 100 yuan that any haunted house in an amusement park would be warmer than this one...
"Fortunately, there are lights in the corridor. It's not like the dark one in the trailer..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the incandescent light above flickered suddenly and then went out.
The sudden extinguishing of the light bulb startled her, and in reality she subconsciously took two steps back.
"What the hell!? Gao Neng is here!? Where is it!? Where is it!?"
Xinxin quickly looked around, but the originally bright corridor was now in darkness. Only the gentle moonlight outside the blinds kept her from losing sight.
At the same time, a prompt popped up.
[The light bulb goes out automatically. This is a supernatural phenomenon. Such a phenomenon will appear randomly in the game and will greatly reduce your sanity]
[Please keep your sanity, because the lower your sanity is, the more supernatural things will happen. When your sanity drops to a certain level, you will lose your sanity. Until then, I wish you good luck]
[To regain your sanity, stand in a bright place and avoid darkness. At the same time, you can also collect anti-stress medicine to instantly restore your sanity]
Xinxin read the prompt at an extremely fast speed and clicked Confirm.
At the same time, she patted her plump chest to feel grateful for the near-miss.
so far so good...
Nothing happened, just the lightbulb went off.
"What the hell is sanity...This is the first time I've seen a game with such a setting? It's simply unheard of!"
Audiences in the live broadcast room also said that they had never seen such a setting in a game.
This means it is an official original.
Seeing these barrages, Xinxin curled her lips.
"Really, if you lose your mind and don't say anything, you just wish me good luck. Why don't you think about it..."
She pursed her lips and continued walking forward.
Soon, she walked out of the corridor and came to the entrance.
Before I finished observing the new environment, a black radio started ringing under the stairs leading to the second floor!
At the same time, Xinxin found that her vision had become blurry.
When moving, it is as slow as if you are in water, and the things in front of you actually have a smear effect when your head shakes!
What the hell is this?
Could it be dizziness?
Then, she thought of the previous game prompt.
Encountering supernatural phenomena will reduce the character's sanity.
Could this... be the visual presentation of reduced sanity?
Tell the player that your sanity is declining through a slow blurring effect?
Thinking of this, she shuddered. She didn't like this visual effect, which gave people a dizzy feeling.
So she hurriedly walked to the light of the entrance hall.
After a while, the picture returned to normal, the slow blurring effect was gone, and the scene smearing effect was no longer present.
This proves that it was just an expression of reduced sanity.
Because of encountering paranormal phenomena where the radio plays automatically.
At this time, the host's unique broadcasting tone was coming from the radio.
[Oh ~ Audience friends, hello everyone. ]
[Today’s weather couldn’t be better! ]
[The temperature remains above 77 degrees Fahrenheit, very sunny and perfect for travel. ]
[Prepare your itinerary and take your family to the beach. ]
[Take a day off, put down your busy work, and tell your spouse and children how much you care about them. ]
[In addition, we have invited a special guest today who will share the happiness of the family with us. ]
[His name is Dwayne...Dwayne...Dwayne...hehehe...Dwayne...en...(unintelligible)]
Xinxin suddenly felt horrified.
The originally normal host voice on the radio suddenly changed the moment he read the name!
Sometimes sharp and fast, sometimes low and slow.
It's like being thinned and elongated by the tuning equipment, it's unbearable!
At the same time, Xinxin found that the environment in front of him began to become hazy and blurry, and the steering became slower.
This... is another supernatural phenomenon!
I'm still standing under the light now! ! !
Xinxin couldn't stand the weird sounds on the radio, so she quickly stepped forward and clicked on the radio.
Surprisingly, the radio actually turned off!
The uncomfortable sound disappeared in an instant.
After a while, her vision returned to normal, no longer blurry and slow.
It shows that sanity is gradually returning.
After playing this, Xinxin exhaled hard and beat her plump chest hard to calm down her mood.
From her first time playing, she has encountered three supernatural phenomena: the light bulb went out, the radio played automatically, and the radio made strange sounds.
But now she doesn't even see a ghost! Just three supernatural phenomena have already caused her to have a nervous breakdown and she can no longer play anymore!
It’s so torturous!
Xinxin was a little crazy, but as soon as she saw the gifts flying in the live broadcast room, she endured and continued playing.
No way, the money is very good...
But she needs to calm down now before facing the next game process.
But since the door is right at the entrance, then... try to open the door and go out to have a look?
After all, this is VR, and on a free level, it is possible to do things that other games cannot.
Thinking of this, Xinxin turned around and just took a step.
The radio behind me suddenly rang...
Inside, there is no longer a host voice.
All that came out was bursts of noise, resounding in the quiet environment of the entrance.
She was suddenly shocked.
"Didn't I shut it down?"
She turned around quickly and looked at the radio.
At this time, the black device was shining red and making a harsh noise.
Xinxin did not go to the door in time, but looked around vigilantly at the entrance.
Here, everything is connected in all directions.
Directly in front of the gate is a closed door. Next to it, there is a staircase leading to the second floor, with a walking stick leaning on the handrail.
To her left, there was also a closed door with a bunch of keys hanging on it.
On the right is the corridor from which she came.
The fantasy space was spacious, but it couldn't give her any sense of security.
There was even a possibility that something would come out and attack her at any time!
So she gritted her teeth, and after carefully confirming that there was no danger, she stepped forward again and turned off the radio.
For a moment, silence returned.
And she also breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, since the advent of "Dark Forest" and "Faces", there has never been any horror game that can make her feel in such a state of fear, never!
Not even in "Blackjack"!
It was only after these two games came out that I felt this way.
Xinxin exhaled again.
After looking around again, he quickly came to the door.
But before she could turn the handle, she was attracted by the scenery outside the door.
The door is outlined with gold and inlaid with decorative glass, giving an unobstructed view of the outside of the house.
At this time, outside the gate, the night was hazy and everything was silent.
The sky was overcast and rainy, pattering.
Waves of smog spread on the roads of the town, swallowing up all the buildings wherever you looked, but still looming, like a fairyland!
The wet ground shows reflections of the surroundings.
There were no pedestrians on the road, and no other sounds besides the rain could even be heard.
It was as if she was the only one living alone in this small town, isolated from the world.
Xinxin looked outside through the glass through the door, feeling a sense of loneliness suddenly arise in her heart for some unknown reason.
The next moment, she came back to her senses and shook her head to regain her composure.
"Don't be affected by the atmosphere of the game. Let's see if we can get out of the house first."
She immediately put her loneliness behind her and reached out to twist the door handle. It didn't move at all, so it was obviously locked.
"It can't be opened... Well... that's actually true. How can an indoor game let you go outside..."
Looking at the door that couldn't be opened, Xinxin was about to give up.
Suddenly, an eye-catching message worth 100 yuan suddenly floated over.
It said: Do you want to try breaking the door open with something? This outdoor scene is so realistic, it has obviously been modeled, and the game's physics engine seems to be very strong. What if it really breaks open?
Seeing this message, Xinxin shook her head.
"The game settings definitely cannot be opened. It should be showing videos outside."
Having said this, Xinxin no longer lingered in front of the gate and began to explore the entrance.
She opened the closet next to the door and tried to pick up the leather shoes on the floor.
Finally, I actually picked it up!
Not only that, she also shook it twice in her hand and found that the shoe seemed to have gravity, bouncing back and forth in her hand.
Amazing!
This is the freedom of VR games!
This is an operation that cannot be done in computer games!
Xinxin threw the shoes in her hand directly towards the door.
There was a bang, the door was intact, and the shoes fell to the ground.
There are also sound effects!
And there are physical collision effects!
"Can you pick up everything?"
Xinxin looked around and saw the crutch leaning on the handrail of the stairs.
She stepped forward and grabbed it, but in the next moment, before the stick could be warmed in her hands, it turned into dots of white light and disappeared.
"Well?"
"What happened? Why is the walking stick gone?"
Just when she was stunned, a game reminder appeared in front of her.
【All Seeing Eye】
